Text:
Oh no, I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the water
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
I saved king David’s life and he offered me a wife
I said now you’re talking business have a chair
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the water
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and dance with the lion’s tail
And I crossed over Canaan on a log
Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the water
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
Yeah, I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I was there when old Noah built the ark
And I crawled in the window after dark
I saw Jonah eat the whale and Daniel twist the lion’s tail
And I crossed over Canaan on a log
Yeah I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
Yeah I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the water
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
I saved king David’s life and he offered me a wife
I said now you’re talking business have a chair
I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
Saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I was born about ten thousand years ago
There is nothing in this world that I don’t know
I saw old pharaoh’s daughter bring Moses from the water
I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
